There are rarely more than rumors of galnin; it is only infrequently available. Silvery-white, seemingly like alcam or celeb, it is lighter and will neither tarnish nor corrode. The galnin only comes mixed in an ore found high in the southwestern part of the mines of the Seventh Deep of Moria, although there have been reports of traces being found elsewhere, and a huge load of the ore is said to exist in the jungles of the South. Only intense fires can wrest the pure metal from its ore, and this must account for its rarity. Dwarves think it insubstantial and not worth the trouble of smelting. Since it's not as strong as ang, and Dwarves like stout material, they have few uses for it and what little galnin the Naugrim mine in their halls, they give nearly all to the Noldor. The Elves frequently use it as a building material. It also found application at Amon Lind as an undercoat for the application of mithrarian.
